Frequently asked questions

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 6 and 6?

It is √72 ≈ 8.485281 (or 6√2 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 6² + 6² = 72.

Is 6, 6, … a Pythagorean triple?

No. The hypotenuse √72 is not a whole number, so 6 and 6 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
